The Social Security number requirement applies to any
customer who is eligible to obtain a Social Security number. All United States
citizens are eligible for and must obtain a Social Security number to be
licensed in Massachusetts.

A customer has failed to properly complete the Social
Security number application process if he/she has done any of the following:

1. Failed
to provide documents required as part of the Social Security number application
process

2. Failed
to provide evidence of visa class admission

3. Failed
to comply with a request by the Social Security Administration to visit a Social
Security Administration office for an in-person interview

If a customer is denied a Social Security number, he/she may
still qualify for a permit/license/ID card if he/she provides an acceptable
written Social Security number Denial Notice (not more than 60 days old) and can
meet other identification requirements proving date of birth, signature, and
Massachusetts residency. The customer must also provide all of the
following:

The Registry of Motor Vehicles has the right to reject any
Social Security number Denial Notice if any of the following apply:

1. It
does not appear to be genuine

2. It is
more than 60 days old

3. It
appears to have been altered

4. It is
incomplete

5. It
indicates the application for a Social Security number has not been properly
completed

Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) are not
acceptable if the customer does not have a Social Security number. Individual
Taxpayer Identification Numbers are strictly for tax processing and are not
valid identification outside of the tax system.
